New build mastic in Burravoe
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. If you have kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and cracks appearing as a new home settles, we can put it right.
For a place like Burravoe, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

New homes and floors in Burravoe
Burravoe is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
For jobs in and around Burravoe, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Burravoe is in the Shetland Islands. Burravoe gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Across the Shetland Islands, we cover 63 places, and Burravoe is one of them.

Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Landlord and commercial work in Burravoe
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Around Burravoe, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.

Where do you work from?

Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme ready for handover. Tell us the plots and the joints involved for a clear quote.
Other services in Burravoe
Leave it or put it right?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Around Burravoe, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant in a matching colour.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
When to call us in Burravoe
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak, and the problem shows up after you move in.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
In and around Burravoe, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which colour the sealant will be
